have you updated your virus scanner and done and full system scan?

 

[clive skinner]

yes i have done all types of scans and they are all clear

virus system file scan check disk scan
even do spyware scans too yet nothing seems to be wrong

i just hope its nothing worse like someone hijacked your computer or
anything. cannot read from source disk hmmm have you tried a longer "scan
disk" as in tick both of the boxes then it will want to restart your computer?

Try that but i have a feeling it maybe worse... and it is always worrying if
your computer does start in safe mode...!

ok ill try a deeper scan but i just got a antivirus warning that a
backweb- 8876480.exe
this program was trying to access the net but i know it is part of a
logitech installation program so it isnt viral

im just confused to see that i cannot remove files or folders and that the
PC will NOT start up in safe mode whatever i do to provke the sequence for
safe mode

e.g F8 etc.

can you also access the recovery console on start up as well? Cos you could
try fix your computer that way.

Also wot safemode were u doing? without networking or with?

It is a very strange thing with your computer it does seem suspect. On the
other hand it could be something really silly.
